Contents: From the jacket

From 1832 to 1891 the western states from the Great Lakes to Oregon and south to Mexico saw scenes of massacre, bloody rout, ambush, fire, and pillage as the great Indian tribes -- Blackfood, Cheyenne, Sioux, Arapaho, Modoc, and Apache -- fought desperately to turn back the invading white men. Re-created in this volume are twenty-odd battles that were crucial in the opening of the American West to white settlement.
